Quadruple striped shirt

As Miekatoentje I was inspired by the new Ottobre and the interesting
things they do with striped fabrics. I needed to try this stripe
blocking for myself. I started with the triangle Ottobre pattern pattern
and transformed it into a square.

I was not totally happy with the
result of the stripes alone, it was not interesting enough, the square in the middle somehow
looked to boxy and boring. Trying to spin the whole thing I ironed a
fitting text and graphic on it. I think it looks better now, but the
shirt needs jeans to avoid the pyjama vibe as much as possible. The
shirt is for my son, but my most willing model helped me out again.

I like the boxy shoulders in this pattern (also very easy to sew), although it doesn't really show while worn.

I love to hear what you think of them. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).
